Chapter 12 makes a bold statement that 'saints are greater than God.' What is the reasoning provided in the text to support this claim?

The assertion in Chapter 12 that 'saints are greater than God' is based on their unique approach to dealing with humanity. The text explains that while God's incarnation is traditionally for protecting the virtuous and destroying the wicked, saints operate differently. As described in this chapter, saints see the virtuous and the wicked as equal and do not differentiate between them. Their primary mission is to guide the wicked onto the right path, their hearts breaking with compassion for the distressed. It is this all-encompassing, non-judgmental love and effort to reform rather than destroy that the chapter presents as making them 'greater than God.'
